There are but 10 shopping days left until Christmas. Sometimes we fashionistas can be hard to shop for - we love apparel and designs but not easy collectibles. We work hard to create something fabulous out of the basics, but don't publish a list of what we might be missing. This list is to assist our dear ones, who wish us well, and love to show their support of our ever-evolving talents. Here are a few ideas that work for the fashionista in your life:

American Girl

For the youngest of our budding number, we recommend the latest in clothing for her special friend. The American Girl is a collector's doll, popular across the nation. Each doll comes with a story that supports our country's rich heritage and diverse community. Winning awards for the creativity and support for diversity, the brand is a popular gift for young girls everywhere. Selecting the right doll for the right girl is a tough decision from this vast collection. An easier option is to select a new outfit for her current doll, like a new winter coat and skates, or one with earmuffs to match her own.

Finger fiend

For the girl who paints and repaints her nails we recommend the latest in nail looks. If you don't notice the scent of polish removal in the air on a regular basis, then her Instagram feed might be her give-away. This fascination can attract anyone from teens to seasoned nail veterans, and we found just the perfect gift. Ciate created the Caviar Manicure, available in single kits or the Caviar Mini Bar set. Show her you notice her passion for creativity by giving her a selection that she can mix and match to inspire everyone with her lastest glam solution.

Hair accessories

Talented teens are hard to keep up with when it comes to fashion trends. Not only do they need to stay on top of the trends, they often need to either match everyone at school, or absolutely NOT match them. Skip the heartache. We love Goody's Hair jewelry accessories line. These are banded double-wear ribbons with jewelry accents. They can be worn up to five different ways, from classic headband to wrapped at the wrist.

Just for her

Monogrammed necklaces (and now bracelets) are adorable and a lovely personal gift. This says you know her and are giving her something she can wear any day of the week! However, choosing the perfect color, material and lettering might make you give up too soon. We recommend the Moon & Lola options at Bleu Belle, available by gift certificate. Simply visit the boutique and let them know you want to let her choose and they will send you off with a smile.

Just for him

Monogramming is easy at Levy Jeweler's if you are looking for something for him. We loved the engravable Lucite flip-top boxes, perfect for keys and wallets or collected change. The Lucite material is easy to clean, and he will never misplace those keys again because he can see right through the box to where you've stashed them! Keep this in the foyer or on his night stand. The perfect gift for the man who has his hobbies covered.

Gift certificates

For all fashionistas large and small, gift certificates are always appreciated. We fashionistas know how to use them and delight at the moment we realize our fashion dreams are realized. Don't be swayed into selecting something if you are not confident, although if you know her favorite store or boutique, we encourage you to ask a stylist. This is not the easy way out - if you take the time to notice her latest shopping bags, you know where to go. She's surely got her eye on something just out of reach!
